Guest guest Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 I ground my teeth for 25 years. When I gave up wheat, the grinding stopped. I would awaken with a nasty headache if I didn't wear my mouth guard. Now, only when I cheat too much. - On Aug 13, 2007, at 3:58 PM, Vinutha C Shekhar wrote: > > Hello, > My son has been grinding his teeth. His front teeth are flat from > it.

It took copper [altho most kids need zinc] and calcium, plus vitamin K for proper absorption of the calcium, before he stopped doing this.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 I had tried everything to stop my son's teeth grinding and then, by accident, I found something that stopped it. His DAN put him on Bethanecol (from Dr. Megson's Bethanecol and Vit. A protocol). Well a WONDERFUL side effect was that it stopped his teeth grinding. I don't know if it has this effect on all kids. I would certainly try the cal/mag and other suggestions before putting him on a drug, but thought I'd throw that in the mix. > > My 12 yr old. autistic son has been grinding his teeth so badly that > when I took him to the dentist yesterday they said that from grinding > the nerve in his tooth is exposed.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 oops- forgot to add... Get some chewy tubes if you don't already have them. They can be a life saver til you can find a way to stop the grinding. They work on the same principle as putting your finger on the back teeth and pushing down, that someone else mentioned. (I could never do that bc he would bite me). My son uses them with his back teeth provided deep pressure. > > > > My 12 yr old. autistic son has been grinding his teeth so badly that > > when I took him to the dentist yesterday they said that from grinding > > the nerve in his tooth is exposed.

At my house, it was caused by mineral deficiency. One of my kids needed zinc. Another needed copper, calcium, and vitamin K for proper absorption of the calcium. Sometimes, yeast in the sinuses can cause this. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 I know I've seen this mentioned on one of the lists before, but i'm wondering what causes teeth grinding? My 3 year old does this off and on, but for the past week it's back and he's doing a lot. Is it yeast related or a zinc problem. I would appreciate any advice or recommendations of what to do or give him and what dose. he's 3ys/4mo. 32lbs. He is currently GFCF and taking Custom Probiotics, MB-12, Vit D3 1000IU, PRP 4mg, and Fluconazole 100MG/ML. What else am i missing at this point. We have pretty big yeast issues here. thanks in advance! Sandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Try upping your yeast protocol? Enzymes got rid of our teeth grinding issues here. For me has an adult, I was teeth grinding because something was bothering my mouth that I did in my sleep that didn't bother me at all in the day. When I went to the dentist and had my dental work done (my parents didn't take me to the dentist properly when little and had all my dental work done when I graduated and got my first full time job.) all my grinding stopped. So, heading to the dentist is a good idea too to see if all is coming in ok and no issues.

At my house, yeast overgrowth and mineral deficiency [usually calcium here, some families report zinc]. >>We have pretty big yeast issues here. Quite a few of the things you are giving, tend to really increase yeast. Try adding biotin, GSE, or another yeast fighter. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 You may have already heard, but teeth grinding is usually from yeast overgrowth. The enzyme may have been causing some yeast die off and that's why it started the grinding. I'd slow down on the enzyme, but not necissarily stop it. I'd give half dosage once a day for a few days then try half dosage twice a day. Whenever you see signs that the enzyme is too much...teeth gringing, stomach pain...cut down half a dosage. It's recommended to go slowly when starting enzymes because they can cause discomfort from healing and die off symptoms. If his teeth grinding hasn't gone away from stopping the enzyme his yeast is probably high from being stirred up by the enzyme. Oregano, Grapefruit Seed Extract, and Grapeseed Extract are all natural yeast killers. There's also enzymes that target yeast... I think one is called Candidase ? Sorry, I just started reading about this:) Cut his sugar intake back, no yeast foods or yeast feeding foods like vinegar, black or green tea for a week or two. I have a yeast detox diet protocol if you'd like it, I also typed up some recipes we use on it. Shoot me an e-mail and I'd be happy to send it to you:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 You know your child best.So if your hunch says stress or pain, then that's probably what it is. I didn't know until recently that probiotics can cause pain as well as enzymes. If you've switched probiotics or recently started probiotics you might want to cut back by half until he gets better, then slowly go up. Poor guy, hope he feels better soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 > Has anyone successfully reduced or eliminated night-time teeth grinding? At my house, this was sometimes caused by yeast overgrowth and sometimes by mineral deficiency. The minerals that were deficient were magnesium, calcium, and zinc.

My 7 1/2 year old son just began doing this a couple of months ago, and I can already see some damage beginning. He is non-verbal, so can't tell me if he is under stress, but does not appear to be any less happy than he always is. He has reflux but we are treating is pretty successfully with prevacid. We tried an enzyme and that is when we first noticed the griding, so we took him off but it continues, so the enzyme may not be to blame. He is gfcf and on a probiotic. >> >>Any help or recommendations would be really appreciated! >> >>Thanks, >>Janet >> >> >> >>---------- --------- --------- -------- >> >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
